lucille is a open source parallel global illumination renderer. Note that lucille is currently in early develop, so I do NOT recommand you to use the binary release as a usual RenderMan renderer. The binary release is currently for the demonstration of lucille. lucille is focused on implementing a G.I. renderer. Update information Dec 10, 2007 lucille isn't dead!. I'm completely re-designing lucille architecture. See my blog for more info. Dec 10, 2007 Added link to MUDA project. MUDA is a vector language for CPU. MUDA will be used to code lucille's core rendering engine. Sep 5, 2004 Added link to cvs snapshot Jan 19, 2004 Released lucille 0.1.3. Sep 20, 2003 Released lucille 0.1.2.
